Why a Safety Day?Why a Safety Day?
Pause for introspection Look at unit culture – how the unit trains,
talks, acts and listens Look at your self – your attitude toward risk
Focus on problem areas (trends) Both from a National and a local perspective
Learn how to manage risks Formally and informally This is a pre-emptive strike on future
mishaps Commanders will choose the day in
October
What is our Culture?What is our Culture?
Do you have a trained, motivated Safety Officer?
Do you have quality safety meetings? Is ORM a part of your unit’s culture?
Identify Hazards Assess Risks: probability/severity Mitigate Risks: analyze/decide/implement
Safety is a Command Issue and Everyone's Job! Can you do better?
How are we doing?How are we doing?
